Not sure its gezel, you have many singers covering others songs especially this song, and additionally this wasnt meant for public distribution so it was just a singer singing a song at a random event that wasnt meant to be recorded. It was a concert and a special child made the request of him and he reluctantly gave in and sang the song. I dont know if its a chillul Hashem or not obviously I dont think we should be singing non Jewish songs but the lyrics and tune happen to be inspirational so I dont know. But I definitely think A.K.A. Pella 4, Maccabeats, Mattisyahu and similar cds are a chillul Hashem.
